Snipping tool

Here is my snipped image of a washstand my the designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. This is a good tool because it can give students an immediate picture of something. I have heard of screen caps before, but the snipping tool is nice in the way you can cut out extraneous things and just grab what you need. I had to dig through some sites, because I found some great things, but realized the whole website was great and I can just link to that. This way students can post images themselves without having to copy and paste and worry about images being too big for mail. For example, I can create an assignment where students have to find an image that fits these requirements or by an artist they like. Or find a description of this design or movement. Very nice and easy too. If I had one complaint, it just captures what is on the screen. I couldn't scroll down the page to get the rest of it. Am I missing something? There was a description of this piece I would have liked to include in my snip. Any advice?
